"We do feel that some of the suspect names that have been provided are definite gang members and we're just working around the clock just trying to get to the bottom of it," said Sgt. Huff.

Police are searching for the suspects. Witnesses saw a gold colored SUV, possibly a Chevy suburban or Tahoe, with chrome rims. They say the vehicle pulled up to Barnes and after a brief conversation, someone inside opened fire. Barnes was shot in the head, neck and back. He later died of his wounds.

"It's obvious that there are many people that know about this and we feel that we are going to get to the bottom of it," said Sgt. Huff.

Something Richard McDaniel hopes will happen soon.

"I was terrifically surprised. I see kids coming home all the time from school. I just couldn't imagine what had happened," said Richard McDaniel.

Police are hopeful anyone with more information will come forward. If you know anything about the shooting, call Crime Stoppers at 596-COPS. You can remain anonymous.
